Redwood Highway guide sign. Up for sale today is this Redwood Highway sign with destinations of Trinidad, Arcata, and Eureka. the Redwood Highway designation was given to the route from Grants Pass, Oregon to the Golden Gate in Marin County, California. it was later assigned US route numbers 199 from Oregon to the California coast, and then 101 south of there.the sign is made to the 1919 specification of the California State Auto Association, with the logo at the bottom (as well as the association name at the sides) and with sharp corners. later generations changed to rounded corners for safety, in case an unexpected kinetic event caused the darn thing to come flying through the windshield.The sign is 18 1/2 inches on a side (approximately 29 inches across the long axis, and 23 up and down the short axis), and weighs 8 pounds, 12 ounces. The original of these signs exists in a private collection and is not going anywhere. This is a high quality, heavy steel remake that has the same high gloss and is indistinguishable from the original early 1910s porcelain sign. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! Would you like a number not seen here? Or perhaps a different style? I can of course make these signs with any verbiage of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and route shield signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. Figure about 10 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
